MEN SHOULD WEEP
NOW RUNNING: 17 – 20 March 2021
Please note: This play has been postponed until next March.
An extraordinarily moving play of women surviving in the east end of Glasgow in the 1930s. It finds the lives of Maggie, her family and her neighbours not only all the tragedy of appalling housing, massive unemployment and grinding poverty can produce but also a rich vein of comedy – the sense of the ridiculous and the need for a good laugh.
BUNKERED
26 – 29 May 2021, Churchill Theatre, Morningside
Please note: This play has been postponed until next year.
Somewhere near the coast of Britain is a Naval Intelligence Cold War Bunker, manned by four naval personnel nearing retirement. Only, as far as the Royal Navy is concerned, the bunker was decommissioned in 1991 and the staff were made redundant… except, somehow, they all slipped through the net and continued to receive monthly paycheques from the Ministry of Defence computer system.
Peter, a Chief Petty Officer with a strong sense of responsibility, and the nearest to retirement age, decides to bring a friend in to bring all the equipment up to full working order. Imagine the alarm at Naval headquarters when they start getting signals from what they thought was a defunct facility! Time to call in the Marines! With, of course, hilarious consequences…
THE DEIL'S AWA
August 2021
Please note: This play has been postponed until next year.
A roistering Scots comedy of smugglers and highwaymen set in 1784 in the fishing village of Pittenweem, in the East Neuk of Fife. The play won Second Place in the S.C.D.A. Playwriting Competition and played for three laughter- packed weeks by EPT during the 1972 Edinburgh Festival.
